The channel has since returned to the air, after pro-government protesters reclaimed the building.

CNN Turk stopped broadcasting for nearly an hour, showing only a live-shot of the empty CNN Turk studio. Employees began broadcasting the raid on Facebook Live soon after being forced out of the studio.

"We don't know how much longer we can continue our broadcast" CNN Turk anchor reportedly said on the air as soldiers entered the offices.

CNN Turk is a joint-venture between Turner Broadcasting — CNN's parent company — and the Doğan Media Group, a major Turkish media conglomerate. Launched in 1999, CNN Turk is operated by local journalists in Turkey, who license the CNN name.

Gunfire and explosions were heard on the Facebook Live stream, as well as video of soldiers forcing employees to leave the building.

Pro-government protesters entered the offices not long after the raid, eventually retaking the offices from the coup-supporters.

Apparently pro-government protesters could heard shouting "Allahu akbar" on the CNN Turk broadcast and, at one point, a man reportedly shouted a pro-government slogan on the air.

Here's the live broadcast of CNN Turk, which has since returned to normal:
